The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 52

The days became even shorter for the three of them, because they enjoyed them so much more. Gerard took Luz to see the world of Harry Potter and tried not to foam at the mouth when one of the boys who visited the place asked for her phone number.

After jumping like a predator and clinging to his waist, it was more than clear to the boy that Luz had her man by her side.

Now, all those memories remained in Luz’s mind, while they made the flight back home. her brother would arrive in the city tomorrow and they arranged to meet at a cafe downtown.

As for the nights they slept together, they were careful not to go any further than a tender goodnight kiss, because their passions were already too much on fire and they didn’t want to get to something more intimate so quickly… they had already gotten carried away. and Gerard was clear about Luz’s sensitive points.

Conditions were excellent and the flight would not take more than three hours. Charlize is quite energetic right now and Luz is using it to practice some reading.

Gerard only limits himself to seeing his women, he imagines Luz teaching her children to read, because if he was sure of one thing, it was that he would give that woman the children she wanted and, in the meantime, they would rehearse them a lot, to that they would be perfect.

That thought reminds him that he is not alone, so he raises a leg: online newspaper, where the announcement of the Collins Building gala is found, the thought crosses his mind that this year he will be able to go accompanied again, only if Luz wants to go with the.

-Daddy, when we get there, can we have pancakes with dulce de leche?

Although her stomach doesn’t turn this time, she does start to salivate without explaining it to him. He keeps eating what Luz wants and she keeps rejecting what she used to love. But surely that will pass one day… when Luz passes it too.

Before the landing announcement, Luz adjusts Charlize’s belt and removes everything from the table. Gerard shakes her hand, giving her confidence that nothing bad will happen and when the plane finally touches down, she lets out the breath she was holding.

When they get off the plane, they do it the same way as the previous time, except that when Gerard reaches the bottom of the stairs, he leaves a tender kiss on her lips.

It is sunset at the airport and there is an air of tranquility throughout the city, except for all those humans who move like ants.

The whole journey is to talk about how fantastic they had it and that they should repeat it soon somewhere else.

-Lucecita, what place would you like to visit? Charlize asks him.

-Rome… I dream of knowing the city where everything we know today began as laws, right, order… that legacy that they left us, I am passionate about.

– Although there is also the Colosseum ? -Gerard asks him, waiting for his answer-

– All the more reason – she replies determined and understanding where he wants to go -. It is incredible that the “Holy Roman Empire” is considered as the cradle of so many of our customs, when many of theirs went against what we respect today.

“It’s interesting… and besides, Italy is beautiful, I’ve seen documentaries and it seems to me much more romantic than Paris.

– Well, the next trip will be Italy – says Gerard, who is willing to do it as a honeymoon gift, because he is marrying her just because -.

When they arrive at the house, Evangeline waits for them at the entrance to help them bring in the suitcases, she takes Luz’s so that she doesn’t have to go through the trouble of carrying it up. They have created a silent friendship, they support each other and talk about things in life when they are alone.

Luz esteems her, because she realized that she always fulfilled Charlize’s whims when no one sees her, she really loves the little girl.

When they finish leaving the bags in the rooms, Evangeline tells them that dinner is ready and they go downstairs for an early dinner. Gerard has several things to catch up on and he knows that Luz is tired, at this time he always sees her yawning and her little eyes turning Chinese because of her sleep.

Once dinner is over, Charlize says good night to her father and takes her Lucecita’s hand. Gerard says goodbye with a kiss from Luz and tells her that he will stay working late.

Time passes, when the little princess falls asleep, Luz goes to her room, takes a shower and puts on her pajamas, feeling strange not having Gerard waiting for her in bed or not

She picks up one of her romance books, sits on the little couch by the window, and when she feels like she’s going to fall on her head right there, she decides that’s enough romance for the day.

He gets into bed reluctantly, because before it didn’t seem as big as it does now, he hugs the pillow like he did before that trip and closes his eyes, letting himself go into a restless sleep.

outrage and she can do nothing.

But this time the voice comes out, strong, clear and heartbreaking, in a scream capable of shaking the foundations of the entire city, just as Gerard walks to the gym to burn off the energies that Luz drains from him with her warmth.

He enters the room of the girl, who is sitting on the bed crying, her face buried in

her hands.

– Light! My Little Light, tell me what’s wrong, does something hurt?

-The… the chest… my chest hurts… – she tells him without being able to calm down and burying herself in Gerard’s arms –

– I’ll call a doctor…

-No! A doctor will not cure the pain I feel in my soul…

-Tell me, please – she begs, crying as much as she does to see her in that state – Why are you like this? What dream disturbed you so much to leave you like this?

-No… it’s not a dream… it’s a memory… Gerard… – she shudders, but she can’t take it anymore and she has to tell him -. I can’t go on… I can’t be with you… I’m not worthy of you… -Of course you are! Why do you say that? My love, look at me! -He raped me! She – she finally shouts. He raped me… I… I couldn’t do anything… This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gerard’s body tenses and he squeezes Luz to not let her go.

He knows what this is for Luz, because he has lived it these months on the other side…

And something inside her shudders… what if that girl were Luz?
